“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings

so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.” (Socrates)

Welcome! I'm Ms. Grooms, and I have been teaching English at Dutch Fork Middle School for 17 years. I've taught all levels of ELA as well as our English I-H Courses. This year I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade College Preparatory English Language Arts. I am a member of Team 82 and teach in Room 102. 

Please feel free to contact me via e-mail (kngrooms@lexrich5.org) or phone (476-4800 ext. 4862) if you ever need anything. I am looking forward to a great year!!
